Plea hearing set for 2 p.m. for Jan. 6 defendant Andrew Hatley, who posed with a statue of white supremacist John Calhoun inside the Capitol crypt.
Hatley's case was tied up in a bow thanks to a search warrant return from his Life360 account.
"When HATLEY was asked about the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, HATLEY advised he was not sure how much he should say without legal counsel because he could be in a great deal of trouble.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Hatley, 34, tells the judge he went to high school and then trucking school. He will enter a guilty plea to the parading / demonstrating / picketing misdemeanor charge.
“This seems to be the least bad option available,” he tells the judge.
Hatley says he appreciates the government making an offer that allows him to continue to work.
“My job is all I have,” Hatley says. Says he’s “very satisfied” with his attorney.
"there really is no centralized role in this for Defense or the Federal government components. This sits squarely in MPD's realm. I'm trying to tamp this down with the Deputy like I have the last couple of protests but this one may be different..."
From the latest batch of FBI emails on Jan. 6:
"It's her very first day in this position. He didn't tell her what the document was, or who wrote it, unfortunately and then went back to the 7th floor for more meetings..."
The only man known to have participated in both the newsman fight in Anchorman (2004) and the U.S. Capitol attack (2021) has formally pleaded guilty in connection with the latter.
Jay Johnston’s sentencing hearing in DC is set for Oct. 7, not long before his Mr. Show colleague David Cross appears in DC at the Warner Theater for his “The End Of The Beginning Of The End” show.
THREAD: Over two years ago, a Jan. 6 defendant told a court that he'd witnessed Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes (now serving an 18 year seditious conspiracy sentence) that he'd witnessed Rhodes try to contact Donald Trump during the Capitol attack.
That Jan. 6 defendant, William Todd Wilson, admitted that he heard Rhodes “repeatedly implore" an unidentified party he was speaking with "to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose a transfer of power." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Rhodes himself was convicted at trial and, in May 2023, sentenced to 18 years in federal prison. But that phone call wasn't a focus for prosecutors.
The only man known to have participated in both the News Fight in Anchorman (2004) and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol (2021) plans to plead guilty on July 8, per court docket.
He doesn’t count for any “law enforcement officers who stormed the Capitol” stats, but he’s certainly played a cop a bunch! nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
